Abstract

The invention relates to systems and methods for the operation of three-dimensional imaging systems. Systems and methods of the invention are operable to display an image of tissue, receive a selection of points from within the image, establish a boundary corresponding to the selected points, and capture a three-dimensional image of the tissue within the designated boundary.

Claims (39)

1. A method, comprising:

performing, using a pullback motor, a pullback of an intravascular imaging catheter through a blood vessel;

obtaining, during the pullback, intravascular imaging data via the intravascular imaging catheter;

measuring, during the pullback, a current draw of the pullback motor;

identifying, by a processor, a region of interest of the blood vessel based on the current draw; and

simultaneously displaying, at a display device:

a first two-dimensional representation of the blood vessel, wherein the first two-dimensional representation is a cross-sectional view of the blood vessel from the intravascular imaging data; and

a second two-dimensional representation of the blood vessel, wherein the second two-dimensional representation is a longitudinal view of the blood vessel from the intravascular imaging data, wherein the second two-dimensional representation comprises first and second boundary markers indicating the identified region of interest along the longitudinal view of the blood vessel.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the region of interest comprises a length of the blood vessel,

wherein the first and second boundary markers indicate a beginning and an end of the length.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first and second boundary markers indicate an adverse thrombotic feature within the identified region of interest.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying the region of interest comprises:

identifying, based on the current draw, a length of the blood vessel where the intravascular imaging catheter traveled slowest during the pullback.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the intravascular imaging data comprises three-dimensional imaging data of the blood vessel.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, at the processor, the intravascular imaging data during the pullback.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the intravascular imaging catheter comprises an image capture device, and wherein the intravascular imaging catheter is configured to obtain the intravascular imaging data using the image capture device.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the intravascular imaging data is obtained with sound waves or light waves.

9. A system, comprising:

an intravascular imaging catheter configured to obtain intravascular imaging data during a pullback of the intravascular imaging catheter through a blood vessel by a pullback motor; and

a processor in communication with the intravascular imaging catheter and the pullback motor, wherein the processor is configured to:

identify a region of interest of the blood vessel based on a current draw of the pullback motor that is measured during the pullback; and

output, for simultaneously display at a display device in communication with the processor:

a first two-dimensional representation of the blood vessel, wherein the first two-dimensional representation is a cross-sectional view of the blood vessel from the intravascular imaging data; and

a second two-dimensional representation of the blood vessel, wherein the second two-dimensional representation is a longitudinal view of the blood vessel from the intravascular imaging data, wherein the second two-dimensional representation comprises first and second boundary markers indicating the identified region of interest along the longitudinal view of the blood vessel.

10. The system of claim 9 ,

wherein the region of interest comprises a length of the blood vessel,

wherein the first and second boundary markers indicate a beginning and an end of the length.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the first and second boundary markers indicate an adverse thrombotic feature within the identified region of interest.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein, to identify the region of interest, the processor is configured to:

identify, based on the current draw, a length of the blood vessel where the intravascular imaging catheter traveled slowest during the pullback.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the intravascular imaging data comprises three-dimensional imaging data of the blood vessel.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

receive, during the pullback, the intravascular imaging data obtained by the intravascular imaging catheter.

15. The system of claim 9 ,

wherein the intravascular imaging catheter comprises an image capture device, and

wherein the intravascular imaging catheter is configured to obtain the intravascular imaging data using the image capture device.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the intravascular imaging data is obtained with sound waves or light waves.
